(This question is being asked in more than one relevant section, to enable more people to consider it.)
I'd set the machine for 50 years in the future, in hopes of finding that the USA again had a fair-minded, sensible and egalitarian U.S. Supreme Court -- the way it was BEFORE "President" Bush **destroyed** it -- which was at last systematically RESTORING personal liberties to Americans.
If that weren't the case yet, I'd set the machine to take me farther ahead, in 10-year increments, until I found a time when that were true... OR the USA had become an unthinkable tyranny (traceable back to Bush's unspeakable mistakes).
If THAT were the outcome, I'd set it for 1974 -- the year after the Emancipation of American girls and women (via Roe vs. Wade), and the year that Nixon resigned... and then RE-live the GOOD years: 1975-2000.
Considering **NO other variables**, would YOU take that journey if you could? And for those reasons?

To "turntable" and STEPHEN R" --
Thanks to our utterly worthless and perfidious "president," the US Supreme Court -- which has been an egalitarian defender of human rights and individual liberties -- has been DESTROYED for probably the next 50 years, minimum.
In 1973, it EMANCIPATED all girls and women from ever having to be FORCED to gestate UNwanted pregnancies to term against their will. (Which had been a very real form of rape!) This NEW court is likely to reverse that, and force us to quickly pass a "Freedom of Choice Amendment" to counter its hatefulness. We may also need to do the same thing, to enable gays to have EQUAL rights, including the right to marry their same-sex partners.
Thanks to Bush, we are standing at the abyss of tyranny, from which ONLY our capability to override the Court with Consitutional Amendments may be able to rescue us, and our freedoms.
You LIKE that situation? Bless your HATEFUL little pea-pickin' hyperconservative and loonish hearts!
